cookbook 'iptables', '= 0.14.0', :supermarket
knife supermarket install iptables
knife supermarket download iptables
Description
Sets up iptables to use a script to maintain firewall rules. However
this cookbook may be deprecated or heavily modified in favor of the
general firewall cookbook, see Roadmap.
Roadmap
- [COOK-652] - create a firewall cookbook
- [COOK-688] - create iptables providers for all resources
Requirements
Platform:
- Ubuntu/Debian
- RHEL/CentOS
Recipes
default
The default recipe will install iptables and provides a ruby script
(installed in /usr/sbin/rebuild-iptables) to manage rebuilding
firewall rules from files dropped off in /etc/iptables.d.
Definitions
See Roadmap for plans to replace the definition with LWRPs.
iptables_rule
The definition drops off a template in /etc/iptables.d after the
name parameter. The rule will get added to the local system firewall
through notifying the rebuild-iptables script. See Examples below.
Usage
Ensure that the system is set up to use the definition and rebuild
script with recipe[iptables]. Then create templates with the
firewall rules in the cookbook where the definition will be used. See
Examples.
Examples
To enable port 80, e.g. in an httpd cookbook, create the following
template:
# Port 80 for http
-A FWR -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
This would go in the cookbook,
httpd/templates/default/http.erb. Then to use it in
recipe[httpd]:
iptables_rule "http"
Attributes
default["iptables"]["install_rules"] = true # install the default rules
